Retired policy analyst for the Department of Defense for 23 years, Michael Maloof, warned of the dangers of an EMP attack. Aligning with George Noory’s campaign to protect the grid, Michael outlined how either a nuclear attack in the atmosphere or intense solar flares could cripple everything from daily routines to national defense

Michael breaks down that threat in his book “A Nation Forsaken.” He even outlines how our own military is similarly vulnerable to an EMP event due to its 99 percent dependency on the nation’s electrical grid system for electricity and communications, raising the high prospect that it may not be able to function to defend the nation in its time of greatest need.

In 2008 a congressional commission studied the consequences of an EMP attack not only the power grid itself but also the consequences to every sector of our economy: telecommunications, banking, transportation, food, manufacturing, construction, and energy. So why isn’t congress doing anything about it?

While these critical infrastructures continue to face such an impending crisis, Congress has basically ignored its own commission report and instead has treated the threat of an EMP event as a political football to be punted whenever expedient for their own gain. To date, still nothing has been done to protect the nation.
